This is Dad in his office at his home, surrounded by his books. My dad has always encouraged learning, which is something that I have always carried with me no matter what life has thrown my way. I remember being a young child, opening another book to read, feeling excited about the adventure that was in front of me.
I have been thinking so much lately about what empowers me. With stresses and decisions to be made day after day, how do we as human beings, and also ourselves in our own unique situations, remain hopeful and optimistic about the future when sometimes it all seems like so much? What empowers me is strengthening my knowledge, to feel educated maybe by just reading a book on my own, or pursuing an interest academically that I feel passionate about. Armed with this, I feel resilient.
